N3 at the Roxy finds the band coming off the heat they stormed up on N2 with a few scattered gems hidden in the midst of some more average performances. The bluegrass finishers are a fun distinctive element to the show, but ultimately leave me wanting more standard Phish before saying goodnight.

Setlist Thoughts
- "LITTLE SUZY GREENBERG WITH HER HEAD CAVED IN" what a fun way to kick of N3. Love the Tweezer quotes in here too. Page is loving this new Baby Grand
- Page has a lot of fun on the PYITE intro, though I definitely prefer it when Trey's got a phase pedal on this track
- super beautiful Esther with swells from Trey and phenomenal playing by Page throughout
- Antelope really takes off here. Some great chaos driven by Page and Fishman
- Though probably not as legendary as its 11/14/95 brother, Stash -> Manteca -> Stash does a phenomenal job of building toward what you expect to be a standard conclusion. But it never comes. Instead, the energy slowly drops, Trey's noodling evolves into the familiar Manteca riff and Fishman changes the groove. The departure is short and hangs over a simple pedal note, but the band all follows the same cue and leads right back into an unfinished Stash -> Lizards.
- For a short Bathtub Gin, it's a great Bathtub Gin. Stays Type I, but the drunken jamming is fun and gripping anyway.
- Big Black Furry Creature From Mars is the one Phish song I really just don't get, and not sure I agree with the bluegrass heavy encore (though GTBT is fun in this style). The show ends on a relatively soft note imo.
